FDA (Devices) recall action 82138
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 2 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 2 pages.
The syringes have scale markings that were printed incorrectly. The scale is skewed to varying degrees, resulting in missing and/or partially printed scale numbers and scale lines.
The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.
The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
Becton Dickinson is recalling 428,800 3mL Safety-Lok Syringes because the scale markings were printed incorrectly, resulting in missing or partially printed numbers and lines.
Becton Dickinson is recalling 3mL Luer-Lok syringes because the scale markings were printed incorrectly, resulting in missing or partially printed numbers and lines.
